| description | Restart Voicey on macOS after rebuilding; check microphone and accessibility; reset TCC only when permissions are stale. Use after code changes, make build, fixing auto-paste/mic prompts, or when the user wants a clean restart on Mac. |
Voicey macOS dev restart
macOS only (not Cloud Agent Linux). Run from the repo root in Terminal.app.
1. Restart after rebuild (usual case)
make dev-restart
Quits Voicey and Rust workers, rebuilds/signs the direct debug bundle, opens Voicey.app.
2. Check permissions
Do not reset TCC on every rebuild — only when something is actually broken.
| Check | Where |
|---|
| Microphone | App Settings |
| Accessibility (auto-paste) | Settings → Advanced |
| System grants | System Settings → Privacy & Security |
Direct debug builds use bundle ID work.voicey.VoiceyDirect (make run, make dev-restart). App Store-style debug uses work.voicey.Voicey.
Prefer the signed .app from make dev-restart over make run-binary — raw binaries have unreliable TCC behavior.
3. Reset permissions (only if needed)
When mic/accessibility prompts are stale, auto-paste fails after rebuild, or the wrong Voicey entry appears in Privacy:
make reset-permissions-direct-relaunch
Accessibility-only: make accessibility-setup-direct
App Store-style debug: make reset-permissions then make dev-restart (or make run-appstore).
Quit without relaunch
make voicey-quit
Notes
tccutil / sfltool need a full macOS terminal (not a restricted sandbox).- If quit fails: Activity Monitor → quit
Voicey and voicey-*, then retry.
